From what we bear, the north country hunters have hung up not only their guns but their snow shoes, the going is just that bad. We used to do a lot of huntâ€" ing on snowshoes until one of ~ the characters at CKCO borrowâ€"| that some enterprising individ: ed them about three years ago. All efforts to reclaim the webs have been in vain so this joker evidently thinks by now that he Even the lake trout fishermen are having trouble and many have their vehicles stuck in the white stuff coating the ice to the extent that they will have to wait for some warm weather or a rain before attempting to move them. Imagine having your car stuck so tight you had to depend on a rain to get it out When you stop to think about it, the entire 1961 season was more than a little mixed up. During the summer, heat was so intense, you couldn‘t go fishing except early morning and late evening. During the fall the heat continued, spaced evenly every other day with downpours of rain. Then this winter it snowed and it rained and it rainâ€" ed and it snowed until not even the dogs would go out in the mess. THE ONY WILD birds that are well fed in this weather are the hawks and owls and these filthy, useless predators feed on every living thing they can get their talons in. Its actually too bad that some of our more sincere scientists haven‘t relagated the Hâ€"bomb to the garbage where it belongs and â€" concentrated on â€" having some control over the weather. HUNTERS IN SOUYHERN ONTARIO are not the only ones affected by lousy weather and ice and snow conditions in According to the Department of Lands and Forests who proâ€" tect them (even they don‘t know why) these predators live almost exclusively on mice. Trouble is that people like myselfwho are out all the time, have never seen either type bird take a mouse if there was a pheasant or rabbit around. The mouse statement of course was probably made by one of the Departments â€" "desk . warmers" and they, have a fair amount of them. Flushed a big hawk the other day that was feeding on a pheaâ€" sant it had just killed. No doubt it thought the pheasant was a mouse, but a hawk is supposed to have excellent eyesight. Howâ€" ever, you can‘t argue with the Department of Lands and Forâ€" ests for after all they are a part of the stupid government we have in this country. Only difâ€" fererice is that if the hawk had flushed within gun range, we would have shredded him, rules or no rules. _ While there is seldom a great deal of change in this show, there is always something new IF YOU ARE KEEN to find out what is new in sporting equipâ€" ment, the Sportsman‘s Show opens in Toronto March 9th and goes to March 17th. §* WELLESLY ONT.

We don‘t often say anything against one of these seryice clubs, but the fact remains that if they were able to raise the 1,200 birds they mentioned and through them on the market, they would be cutting the throat of a lot of little guys raising pheasants with the idea of makâ€" ing a buck out of them. A few years ago, pheasants were ten dollars per pair dress ed and packaged. Today, you can buy all sorts of them for six or eight bucks a pair all ready to go in the oven. the whole thing. herb smith In operating a shooting Preâ€" serve, we have had a lot of dealings with the little guy raisâ€" ing a few pheasants as a sideâ€" line.

The hunters who shot the rabbits, Emil Brauneisen for skinning and cleaning all the rabbits, and Clarence Schlegel of Freiburger‘s Meat Shop for doing such a good job of cookâ€" ing them. Some of the members thought they were eating some well done steak or fine roast beef, it was so delicious. Our thanks also to Ernie Wuergler and his fine helpers who made the artificial rabbits, they lookâ€" ed so real that one was stolen out of the field in front of the club house. Our hope is, that who ever stole it, will not try to cook it, they might find out it tastes like masonite and paint, of course they should have thought of this before they reâ€" moved it from the field. Our special thanks to the ladies of the club who worked in the kitâ€" chen preparing the salads, etc., and who also waited on tables.
